UNDO button

Post by The__Nick »

Is it a bug or just busted code that there isn't an UNDO button? It's not like what's on the other side of the stone is a secret, what with it being right there on the side.

Undo is against BGA rule: "you can undo only if no private information are revealed", in this game every move you do reveal some of your card.
I received some suggestion to add a small icon on the stone to show the opposite side, but Publisher don't like we modify original graphic. Then there is tooltip that show you the opposite side and help cards too.

Even if UNDO is impossible (although I think it should be, as you don't see part of your opponent's move, only the end result) - could we please have a confirmation dialog when I accidentally click "End Turn" with cards to play - as the buttons often move as the page loads (at least it does on my phone), on three occasions now, I have clicked on a card, then "Score" and just as I click on "Score" it moves and the "End Turn" button is activated instead. All three occasions it has resulted in losing a game I should have won. If, when a player clicks "End Turn" it comes up with a message box to ask if they meant to do so - if they have any cards left to play, it would be very useful.

I understand the no UNDO because your card is revealed, but to me the undo in this case isn't taking back a whole play, rather accidentally shifting the wrong two tiles. Sure the card once discarded is played and revealed, and you can't undo that, but you should be able to undo the tile you shifted or flipped. Run into it all the time, especially on mobile when I fat finger something :lol:

I can understand the rule "not revealing information", as that is perfectly compatible with an "UNDO button". I also share the "fat fingers" and "moving screen on the mobile" issues, and I add the "mistake in choosing the cards in a small screen", so the "undo button" is a must. Making a mistake without the possibility of an undo is giving the victory to your opponent. And anyway the card would be revealed. If you discard or score the card is revealed. If you select the card you want to score (for a moving screen or fat fingers... Or just a mistake) to discard, both would be revealed anyway, so... Why don't have an "UNDO button" if no rules are broken. Maybe, as in real games when you make a mistake you ask your opponents if you can undo, so here, in virtual mode, the "undo action" should be approved by your opponents
